🔍 Infoblox has launched an External Attack Surface Management (EASM) capability and a Supply Chain Intelligence feature to expand its exposure management suite. The DNS-centric approach discovers internet-facing assets without agents, credentials, or active scanning and highlights DNS-specific risks like dangling CNAMEs. The new capabilities integrate with Infoblox’s existing Digital Risk Protection Services and aim to help security teams continuously identify and prioritize external exposures based on exploitability and business impact.

🧭 Today Cloudflare launched Workers Cache, a tiered cache that sits in front of your Worker and is enabled via a simple Wrangler config and standard Cache-Control headers. Cacheable requests hit Cloudflare first so fresh responses are returned without running the Worker; on a miss the Worker runs and stores the response for subsequent requests. The cache supports stale-while-revalidate, Vary, tag- and prefix-based purges, and per-entrypoint control, and is available to all Workers on any plan.
